gravy in saveur My husband considers good gravy one of the highest culinary pleasures of life, and occasionally jokes about putting some in his Camelbak for long hikes - what could be better? I'm pretty sure he'd already proposed by the time I first made him gravy. But, according to Lucretia Bingham in the November issue of Saveur, good gravy is the key to a man's heart and the fastest way to an engagement ring.

Follow her technique for gravy, she insists, and a proposal won't be far behind. Of whisking your gravy until it's thick and luscious, she writes, "Nothing should interrupt this serene moment, not even a lover." I've already got a good gravy technique, and a man who loves it, so I have to know - has anyone tried this?

It works the other way, too; the key to a woman's heart. I have often said, my wife only loves me for my gravy. :-^

My wife hated gravy... until she tasted mine.

Since I wrote the piece, I suppose I can say that the point to it was that I was glad he had proposed before he had my gravy or else I might never have been sure why he proposed.
